Berlin, Berlin, Berlin. The last time I was in Berlin, it was I think 1988, January? there was still a Wall. Rodrigo and I were an item. Rainbirds was still his band. He didn’t have a wikipedia entry yet! I was still in University. I knew about three words of German.
So a long time has passed, and I hardly saw anything I recognized this time, since I didn’t make it to KaDeWe (omg, SHOOT ME! I really should have gone. I didn’t hit the Ku-Damm at all). I speak maybe 300 words of German. HA! anyway.
First order of the day was to see my last Radiohead show. Some pics from Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide:
Radiohead has one or two fans in Berlin...
The last time the band played there was in 2001. September 11, 2001.
The steam rising from the crowd after the pouring rain stopped.
A good show.
The next few days I met up with a friend from the WGB, and he kindly showed me around. We went to the Pergamon Museum, and several photography exhibitions. We ate Japanese and Currywürst, and had a few. It was lots of fun!
All of the museums in Europe are currently being renovated!
A Long Island Iced Tea gets an umbrella? who knew?
We went to see Rodrigo’s band, Die Ärzte, at Kindl-Bühne. Radiohead sold out one night; DA sold out three.
Die Ärzte on stage. Rodrigo is on the right.
He's still pretty cute!
And Hasa got a shot of us backstage, oh the glamour
